Chris Bosh MRI: Strained Abdominal Muscle, Out "Indefinitely"

Chris Bosh strained an ab muscle on this dunk, and will be out “indefinitely” the Heat just announced. It’s a brutal blow for the Heat, who were clearly beaten inside in game one by David West and Roy Hibbert. Should the Heat advance, they’ll likely face the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. Kevin Garnett against Joel Anthony/Udonis Haslem/Ronny Turiaf is kind of a mismatch.

For a point of reference as to what “indefinitely” might mean here … Manu Ginobili of the Spurs missed 15 games with a “strained abdomen” earlier this season. Given the current schedule for the rest of the Miami/Indiana series, if Bosh is out for two weeks, and the Pacers’ series goes six games, he’d probably return for game two or three of the Eastern Conference Finals (assuming Boston/Philly doesn’t go seven).

Dr. McIntire making medical predictions now? Did he sleep in a Holiday Inn Express last night?

Meanwhile, Jenna Haze indefinitely plans to keep using her abdominal muscles as a strainer.

I wonder if Bosh’s injury is why the ratings were down?

mother’s day.

But Easter Sunday has no bearing on why Master’s ratings were down, you see.

does anyone who watches the NBA more than i do think the heat face a legit shot of being eliminated this series?

Not sure if I watch more than you, but I think the Pacers could beat them. Though having Granger as the crunch time go to guy is going to make it really tough. They need to go through West.

I thought the Pacers looked good for 43 minutes yesterday. Always a chance.

Heat will still roll. Move along, nothing to see here.

do you watch any? if the answer is yes, you watch more than i do.

/lebron killed the nba for me…it’s hard to even watch without getting sad

but I think the Pacers could beat them.

is it bad that im praying for this, not for hatred of lebron, but for the inevitable ratings excuses from TBL?

It is funny to see the lengths he will go to twist stories to fit his narratives and not mention things that veer off of them.

What a innovative and unique way to let us know that you don’t care about the NBA. Kudos to you, sir.

Nope. They got no shot, as much as it pains me to say. I’m really hoping for a Spurs-Heat series. One more ring to close out The Great Duncan’s career.

Is he going to retire this year or test the market?

Benjamin Franklin Rodriguez has the highest WAR evah!

No. They’re not getting pass Boston though.

Meh…I see Boston putting up the good fight, but Miami should still be able to handle them. I would love to see the Heat shut out again, though. LeBron seems like a nice guy, but damn do I love watching him fail.

He’ll probably resign for a mid tier contract. He doesn’t even have an agent right now.

If Bosh doesn’t come back for that series full strength, Miami will possibly be in trouble.

Weirdly, Lebron is really growing on me these days. Probably the part about how he is playing incredible basketball all season. I think I just hate D Wade so much that it makes it seem as if I like Lebron.

/hope Miami loses to Pacers and Wade sucks in every loss

Also, Spencer-

I think the Pacers now have a much better shot to take the series. You still have to like the Heat though- if they’re even close in the 4th quarter of any game in this series, they win it. Pacers gotta do work the first 3 quarters.

Part of me is scared that this will be a big blow to the Heat, but I rarely watch a Heat game and think Bosh is contributing very much (not counting the game yesterday). I think with more minutes Haslem and Turiaf could easily do everything Bosh should, and not necessarily always is, doing. Bosh tends to just float 18 feet from the basket and not hit the boards. It’ll be interesting.
